Please evaluate my profile:
I am an Indian male working in the IT industry (I know!)
Educational Background
B.tech (Mechanical Engineering) from a tier-2 college - 7.84/10 or 70.9% (Tried finding a way to convert it to GPA but, gave up in the end due to a lot of different formulas and different tables available)
12th standard - 70.33%
10th standard - 9.4/10 or 89.30%
Work Experience
34 months in Infosys - Indian IT major
Current designation - Senior Systems Engineer(Might get a promotion in the next quarter)
I am an SAP PI consultant/SAP UI developer with experience working with the new agile methodology, which is currently being swiftly adopted across different projects. I have also worked for 10 months on SAP ABAP.
Extra-Curriculars
Was chosen to be a part of the Self-governance team, during the training period at Infosys after undergoing a selection process(A total of 10 people were chosen out of a batch of 450)
Was a part of an NGO for a couple of years. The NGO was dedicated to uplifting the unfortunate strata of the society, especially orphan children, by providing them with free education and a place to stay
Was part of the organizing team for a number of fests(even a national level fest) during the college years
I have been getting consistent scores of 730+(max 770 till now) in the GMAT mocks and plan to give the exam by the end of July'19. I know my profile has nothing to woo the college committees so I am not even targeting the top colleges.
Please suggest some colleges that can be a good match for me in Europe, Asia, Canada and Australia with this profile. (Don't wanna go to the US)
Hi, If you are getting 730+ in mocks, you would have better chances to apply top 20 B-schools, anyhow you are not keen to apply US. In my knowledge, outside US there are only 2-5 schools having 700+ GMAT average(INSEAD,LBS,ISB,IIM A, IIM B). As an Indian applicant you need add 10+ score to the school's average score.
So, What is your Post-MBA goal? where do you want to settle? based on the answer to these questions, select the country and school. all the ebst.
Hi Mangamma,
Thanks for the reply. I have a couple of questions.
Is getting a GMAT score 10 more than the average scores of colleges enough with a profile like mine? I don`t have exemplary scores and my total work ex is towards the lower end.
Apart from this I come from a pool of Indian applicants where most of the applicants will have a high GMAT score and to make the things worse, most of them would be from the IT background.
Also, after getting an MBA I don't want to restrict myself to the IT industry. Will me be going for an Operations profile after IT work experience(software engineer to be specific) a good decision?
